Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2018
Harpur hasn't played for enough teams to qualify as a journeyman defenseman, but it's unlikely he sees more than third-pairing minutes if he can stick in the Rangers' lineup this year. He had six points, 63 hits and 57 blocked shots over 42 games in a similar role last season. Harpur's enough of a veteran to fill in when injuries arise, but the offseason addition of Erik Gustafsson and the impending arrival of prospect Zac Jones means Harpur may not get as much playing time in 2023-24.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Gaining confidence of coach
Harpur has impressed Rangers coach Gerard Gallant, according to Vince Z. Mercogliano of USA Today.
ANALYSIS
Harpur is projected to draw into his sixth straight game when the Rangers face Washington on Tuesday. "Steady, steady, steady. He's a big-bodied guy with a good stick... He's just been steady and playing solid defensive hockey," Gallant said, referring to Harpur. The 27-year-old defenseman might continue to draw into the lineup consistently, but he shouldn't be counted on to make regular offensive contributions. Harpur has an assist in five contests this season.
